The 12 Best Bond Girl Names

Already a gigantic hit in the UK, the 23rd film in the JamesBond franchise, Skyfall, is about to explode onto movie screens in this country. In the series’ 50-year history, its suave hero, 007– played by six actors, from SeanConnery to DanielCraig— has encountered scores of devious villains and even more luscious ladies, some originating in the IanFleming novels, others created for the screen. The Bond Girls had names ranging from the ridiculous (Pussy, Kissy, Plenty, Trigger) to the sublime. Here are Nameberry’s picks for the most sublime.
